Who was your favorite character and why?

No favorites. I like them all with the exception of the female lead as explained below in "other comments".

Have you listened to any of Jennifer Bradshaw’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. And a very pleasent voice she has.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I usually listen in several sittings due to my own time constraints, and wanting to give the story my full attention.

Any additional comments?

I am a little tired of the female lead characters who are starting to feel more insipid. I would like to see more fire and spice in the lead female character . A little bit of bad would be appreciated for the female to grow into and out of and utilize. Not all of the power and fire should be saved for the lead male Carpathian character. In several of Ms Feehan's earlier books there have been wonderfully complicated and sometimes imperfect female leads who are not always sugar sweet. I get that the females are the light to the male's dark. Yet nothing is all black and all white. I would like a little more stirring of the female's roll. This is of course is mine own opinion. I still enjoy the series and have read each book.

If you have already listened to Dark Decent, then you will want to hear this book. It answers some of the questions the short version left and give some much needed information. I hope Ms. Feehan also lengthens Dark Dream.

It feels like I have listened to this before, I know I have, although it did not show that I have listened to it before. Not upset about listening to it more than once, just upset about paying for it more than once. This is a good series, except they do not have all the book avalible, and it doesn't show this one in the series.

A lot of what was bounced around about throughout the story could've been covered in the prologue.

What was most disappointing about Christine Feehan’s story?

It was not a stand alone book. Clearly a series. So, you must buy them all or be left wanting.

How could the performance have been better?

She is an awesome writer. This series is setup as a sort of treasure hunt. I'd like to see it written more like a meal; with definite satisfaction after every course. If I feel myself getting full, I can always skip a course (or book) without it ruining my meal.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Dark Nights?

If I were editor, I'd be more selective in handing out time and content on biography of every single character.
